Leo wants everyone to think he is brave & strong. This beautiful cat acted tough while watching birds from his safe spot by the window. However when Leo actually gets near the birds outside he becomes frightened and needs his owner to help him.
A funny video on social media shows Leo pretending to hunt birds while sitting safely in his owner’s living room. The cat sits on his favorite spot behind the couch and makes clicking sounds at the birds flying past the window. Leo acts confident and fearless until his mother takes him outdoors where he gets close to real birds without any glass between them.

Terrified Leo runs back to the house as fast as he can. He is so afraid of the birds that he does not bother using his cat door. Instead he rushes inside the moment his mom opens the door. She laughs at her frightened kitten and his silly behavior. One viewer made a joke saying that Leo is definitely an indoor cat. Another person left a comment stating that his survival instinct is about as strong as a calculator.
While cats are not generally scared of birds Leo may actually be a seasoned indoor cat. To most cats birds are neutral prey which means they are more exciting than terrifying. Most cats see birds as playthings or prey and this is why you will often see cats stalking or pouncing on them. The chattering behavior Leo shows at the beginning of the video is typical of cats while stalking birds.
